Bridges

Do you have one or more missing teeth due to injury, decay, or another reason? Would you like to close the space caused by those missing teeth? If so, a dental bridge may be the solution.

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic device used to literally bridge the space created by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two or more crowns for the teeth on either side of the space- called abutment teeth- with a false tooth (or teeth) in between. Dental bridges are supported by natural teeth or implants.

Benefits of A Dental Bridge

Dr. Argo skillfully and expertly creates all bridge work in his own on-site dental lab with only special exceptions made to send out work to an alternate lab. A temporary bridge will be made foryou to wear while waiting for the permanent bridge to be created. During the second visit, your new permanent bridge will be adjusted and cemented into place. With good oral hygiene and regular checkups, a dental bridge can last 5-15 years and even longer. For more information on dental bridges, call us today at 901-685-8228.
